Live harp music is unique in that it speaks to feelings and it speaks to the soul.

People in mourning are calmed and soothed by the subtle nuances of the harp while still remaining intimate with their thoughts, feelings and emotions. 

Funeral, Memorial and Wake Harp Services

I am so very sorry if you are visiting my site as a recently bereaved person, but I hope I can be of help at this difficult time.  

Family and loved ones can experience emotional connections through the music shared at at the final closure.  My harp music can add a great source of comfort as one bids farewell to a much-loved family member or friend.

Harp music at the church or other chosen venue will help create a peaceful atmosphere, and the vision of such a beautiful instrument is an uplifting sight at such a sad occasion. Suitable music can be played at the arrival of mourners or at the service itself or for a viewing. I am also available to provide suitable background music during receptions for family and friends following funerals or cremations. 

If you have chosen to have a woodland burial or a traditional service at a graveside and feel you would like to have some live music at this point I would likely bring my Celtic lever harp harp which is smaller and lighter than my pedal harp The gentle sound of the harp in the background can soothe and comfort during what is always a difficult moment.
